Chess.com vs lichess.org

@chessISbest123 In some country, lag is incredible. Both in chess.com and lichess. But for sure, chess.com is ever more lag.

Chess dot com should be called chess dot (f)lag, since 99% of the people I have played there don't resign (even being down tons of material) and end up flagging me, because I lose time due that site continuous disconnects and if that weren't enough, they even offer a rematch after that (sportsmanship, anyone?). At least, on Lichess if you press F5 on disconnects the game reloads without any problem and you can continue on playing, on chess dot (f)lag if you press F5 when the site disconnects, it shows you the same position and informs you you have abandoned the game (wtf?). Since, chess dot (f)lag only allows me to analyze one game for free, I usually only play one game per day and also do one puzzle rush, because to be able to do more than one, you have to pay as well xD

P.S.: it's funny how many friend requests one gets on chess dot (f)lag if you put a picture of a girl on your profile, feels so MSN xD.

As a titled player I get free premium at the other site, but I only use it to do Puzzle Rush, read some chess history blogs (I believe a blog system would be a great addition to lichess!) and watch some of the opening videos.

Since I joined lichess, I play online chess exclusively here. It is so well-designed, everything is readily available where you expect it to be (at the other site, I need a map, compass and protractor and still don't find what I'm looking for).
The study feature with opening explorer, the tournament and simul systems, and the community including lichess teams and you guys in the forum are just some of the features I believe are vastly superior to any of its rivals.

But after all, lichess' founding principles of free service, no ads and free source are just unbeatable :) This is why I love to support lichess but would never pay a penny for the other site.

To ask this question in a Lichess forum, the answers should be quite obvious? :P

If you want a good laugh, you should just ask this question in a chess.com forum

I don't understand why people keep asking the same question again and again and again and again and again and again and again...
